The Detroit Red Wings scored a pair of goals 31 seconds apart in the second period on their way to a 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks, taking a 2-1 series lead. While both the Red Wings and Blackhawks were two of the better possession teams in the league this year, if the Red Wings are going to upset the number one seed in the West, they likely need to get better goaltending than the Blackhawks and, in Game Three, Detroit G Jimmy Howard turned aside 39 of 40 shots, doing his part for the Winged Wheel. As usual, Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader paced the Red Wings with five shots on goal. Zetterberg (4.3 per game) and Abdelkader (3.1 per game) are the Wings top volume shooters in this postseason. Abdelkader also recorded six hits, giving him a team-high 37 hits in eight playoff games. Frustrated Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews put seven shots on goal and had a dominant possession game, yet remains without a goal in these playoffs. Toews and Bostons Jaromir Jagr are tied for the second-most shots without a goal in the postseason, with 28 (Tyler Seguin has 35). Detroit got goals from the supporting cast. The first goal was rookie Gustav Nyquist, with a nifty one-on-one move against Brent Seabrook, from fellow first-year NHLers Damien Brunner and Joakim Andersson. Then, it was Drew Miller (who also led the Wings with four blocked shots), playing in his second game of the playoffs, from Patrick Eaves and Cory Emmerton. The end result was not without some measure of controversy as the Blackhawks had a goal, which would have tied the score at two, disallowed in the third period as Andrew Shaw was ruled in the crease. Shortly thereafter, Pavel Datsyuk gave the Wings an insurance marker and that was that. While Chicago cant be pleased to be down two games to one, they should also take heart. Theyve recorded 40 or more shots on goal in two of the three games in this series and the Wings had allowed 40 shots on goal once all season (55 games) prior to Round Two, so chances are there; they simply have to find a way to get to Howard to improve the outcome.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Colin Kaepernicks football spoke for him this time, not his national anthem protest, and it was a long time coming.A year after being benched for his poor play and three starts into what he hopes is a triumphant return for the 49ers, Kaepernick hung right with Drew Brees and even threw for more yards than his strong-armed Saints counterpart in San Franciscos 41-23 loss to New Orleans on Sunday.Confident and precise in spite of one interception and a lost fumble, Kaepernick resembled the old dual-threat playmaker he once was in leading this team to a runner-up Super Bowl finish following the 2012 season.I think today was a step in the right direction, Kaepernick said. We had a lot of opportunity where if a few plays had gone another way this game could have turned out differently.Kaepernick became the 15th player in franchise history to rush for 2,000 yards and went 24 of 39 for 398 yards passing -- second most yards of his career on the way to a 102.3 QB rating. He hit DuJuan Harris for a 47-yard touchdown then Vance McDonald on a pretty 65-yard TD pass .Kaepernick, who worked back from surgeries on his left shoulder, left knee and right thumb, had completed fewer than half his passes in his first two starts since being promoted over Blaine Gabbert.It was an up-and-down day, coach Chip Kelly said. There were a few throws in the pocket there that iff he could have completed them we would have stayed on the field and kept some drives alive.dddddddddddd But he also did some really good things fitting some balls in there and making plays.Determined to improve his consistency this week, Kaepernick had another impressive performance against the Saints, something he wont try to explain. Before this season even began with him as the backup, he sparked a debate with his decision to sit and later kneel for the anthem in support of minorities who are oppressed.He seemed to play really well today, Brees said. They moved the ball at times really well today and he ended up with a ton of passing yards. We figured coming off the bye week theyd be rested and re-energized and ready to roll, which they were.Still, San Francisco (1-7) lost its seventh straight game since shutting out the Rams to start the year and falling to New Orleans for the eighth time in the last 10 regular-season meetings.Nobody was satisfied, even with some clear progress made.We definitely got in more of a rhythm today, Kaepernick said. But we still left a lot out there, particularly in the red zone. We were down there three times and got no points.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Throwback Baseball Detroit Tigers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Colorado Rockies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Houston Astros Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Kansas City Royals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Angels Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Miami Marlins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Milwaukee Brewers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Minnesota Twins Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Mets Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball New York Yankees Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Oakland Athletics Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Diego Padres Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball San Francisco Giants Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Seattle Mariners Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball St. Louis Cardinals Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Tampa Bay Rays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Texas Rangers Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys Cheap Throwback Baseball Washington Nationals Jerseys ' ' '
